Of course, but it doesn't need to be automatically scheduled for me. I am 
capable of entering my own task durations  (which doesn't have to be work * 
resources, like MSProject insists.) I want to be in control of my project 
plan, is all. I should be able to over-allocate resources if I want to :) An 
auto-schedule function should definitely exist, but in my opinion it should 
be something I request, then it happens, then my plan is left alone, if you 
understand what I mean.
